In its flurry of software updates, Apple supposedly fixed one problem and caused another one. A big one. Big enough to warrant drastic measures to fix it.According to MacRumors, the company is now offering free exchanges for iPad Pro 9.7 owners who had their tablets bricked by installing the iOS 9.3.2 update. Some of those owners reported seeing an “Error 56” dialog, followed by a prompt to plug the tablet into ...

Okay, so do you have an iPad Pro? With an Apple Pencil? You might want to be on the lookout for a new Apple Pencil that can act as a flashlight, a camera, an eyedropper or paintbrush tool or even an actual pencil — but all of it smarter.It’s only a possibility, but Cupertino may be up to the challenge of making such a pencil as

Apple is at the beginnings of a transition. The high end smartphone market is maturing. Mac sales continue to fall. Cupertino supports two different computing environments between OSX and iOS. Pushing to find new sales growth, Apple is working to bring more professional features to iOS instead of adding multi-mode or touchscreen options to MacBooks and iMacs.We now have our hands on the second iOS “Pro” product following this philosophy. The 9.7 retains most of the design of the iPad Air 2, but includes more ...

Check out that huge spike in Apple Watch sales. Yep, that actually happened right after Tim Cook announced a $50 price cut for the Apple Watch Sport. It’s also good to note that we’ve pretty much seen a doubling in sales sustained over about a month’s time.

Apple’s introduction of the iPhone SE has been interesting to watch for a number of reasons, presenting us with new questions about just how and why Apple shoppers choose the hardware they do. Is it the four-inch size of the iPhone SE that will prove most attractive? Or is it the phone’s comparatively low (to flagship models) price point? Will releasing it off-cycle from the fall’s iPhone help or hurt sales? Last week we took an early look at sales data, but only had access to ...

While some hardcore iFans may choose to blindly trust their heroes and pre-order new iPhones or iPads without waiting to check out hands-on previews, unboxing videos and rigorous reviews, many prospective buyers these days go the cautious route.That often includes probing the internals of a just-launched iDevice not only through synthetic benchmarks.

Right after the UPS guy left yesterday, FedEx stopped by with another package I was eagerly anticipating. Yes, I was up at 3am pre-ordering this new iPad Pro, and no, I didn’t just do it for the review. I’ve spent two years waiting for this tablet, and it’s finally time to open it up.Apple ignored the 9.7-inch form factor that made its tablet lineup famous, in favor for a larger and more TV-like variant. It was only a matter of time before the company realized that standard sized iPads are always the way to go, and if you’re willing to add some Pro features to it, it would just ...

Take a look at the spec sheet for the new 9.7-inch iPad Pro, and you might notice something unusual: instead of a regular Apple SIM, the kind we saw debut with the iPad Air 2 that supported multiple carriers and made it easy to get access to cellular data, Apple’s latest iPad permanently embeds that SIM within the tablet. What does that spell for users who want to jump between networks? After all, shortly after the Apple ...
